/* TODO(casey): This warrants a lot of thought.

   Since you want to be able to edit colors after they have already been stored away in
   internal structures, you want to capture as much as possible where the colors came
   from.  In the current set-up, you can blend any two ids, but that's it.  If you
   go beyond that, it collapses down to just RGBA.  Maybe there should be more than
   that.  It's hard to say.  I don't know.
